Design and testing progress towards the first flight of the rocket experiment demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX)
Sarah N. T. Heine, Herman L. Marshall, Alan Garner +11
The Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX) is a NASA-funded, sounding rocket mission. The rocket payload will measure polarization strength and direct…
SuperFIRE: Concept evolution of a seeing-limited broadband spectrograph for the GMT
Gustav M. Pettersson, Gábor Fűrész, Nathan P. Lourie +4
We are developing the SuperFIRE concept, which builds on the heritage of the FIRE spectrograph at Magellan, as a broadband (about 340 nm to 2.5 um) intermediate resolution (R=10,00…
The high-speed X-ray camera on AXIS: design and performance updates
Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Robert Goeke +25
AXIS, a Probe mission concept now in a Phase A study, will provide transformative studies of high-energy astrophysical phenomena thanks to its high-resolution X-ray spectral imagin…
Design and Characterization of a Balloon-Borne Diffraction-Limited Submillimeter Telescope Platform for BLAST-TNG
Nathan P. Lourie, Francisco E. Angile, Peter C. Ashton +16
The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter mapping experiment planned for a 28 day long-duration balloon (LDB) flight f…
Preflight Characterization of the BLAST-TNG Receiver and Detector Arrays
Nathan P. Lourie, Peter A. R. Ade, Francisco E. Angile +26
The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter mapping experiment planned for a 28 day long-duration balloon (LDB) flight f…
Attitude determination for balloon-borne experiments
N. N. Gandilo, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +64
An attitude determination system for balloon-borne experiments is presented. The system provides pointing information in azimuth and elevation for instruments flying on stratospher…
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry-BLASTPol: Performance and results from the 2012 Antarctic flight
N. Galitzki, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilé +22
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) is a suborbital mapping experiment, designed to study the role played by magnetic fields in the…
Thermal design and performance of the balloon-borne large aperture submillimeter telescope for polarimetry BLASTPol
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilè +25
We present the thermal model of the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol). This instrument was successfully flown in two circumpolar fligh…
BLASTbus electronics: general-purpose readout and control for balloon-borne experiments
S. J. Benton, P. A. Ade, M. Amiri +66
We present the second generation BLASTbus electronics. The primary purposes of this system are detector readout, attitude control, and cryogenic housekeeping, for balloon-borne tel…
